My hero is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. My hero is special because he made the world change. He fought peacefully for civil rights. He believed all people should be treated equally. If he didn’t fight peacefully for civil rights, some people would be treated better than others.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born January 15, 1929, and died April 4, 1968.
